Huge win for car owners! All TSBs to be made public.
The Center for Auto Safety just made the NHTSA (US Government) make public the full text of all TSBs from now on. They are the same organization that has petitioned the NHTSA & filed lawsuits to protect car owners over exploding gas tanks & other major safety issues.
Whenever you drive in your car, you are safer thanks in part to a lot of work over the years by this small but very effective consumer advocacy group.

Another car made an illegal U-turn and caused me to T-bone on his passenger side. Front of my car hit his passenger side and dragged his car for about 10 feet. Air bags on my car did not deploy, safety system M-brace in car failed and did not call sos either. Car safety system did not detect the crash at all. Mercedes Benz did not detect a crash....updated 09-10-14 the consumer stated she received soft tissue injuries to the neck, shoulders, and back, bruised elbow, and headaches and loud ringing for 10 days caused by the crash.

Molds and mildew build up in the air condition ducts placing people who are susceptible for infection (people with weak immune system) at risk for fatal infection. The dealer stated that this is a known and common condition for this car because the ac box does not drain the condensed water. This is because the way the car was designed. The dealer recommended turning off the ac for 30 seconds while keeping just the fan on every time before turning off the car to dry up the condensed water on the ac coils, not practical. The dealer has a known service to disinfect the ac system but because of the car design could not guarantee that the condition will not return. There is no warning or any instructions in the manual regarding this potentially fatal condition for susceptible people.
